The Outfit for a Months Jaunt.

''Give me some idea of the outfit re-
CURED for months jaunt in the
mountains or by the seashore?"
"Well, in the first place, you would
want flannel shirt-a good one
which would cost So. Then, perhaps,
if you wore knickerbockers, / could
sell you pair of boots or a pair of
canvas shoes. The first would cost 81
per pair and the last 81. A polo cap,
at 81, would complete the wearable
outfit, of course, taking into consider
alton that you had clothes. A big
canvas tent can be purchased for SIS
and will stand the wear and tear of
two or three seasons. Then you
would want, in case you were goinfi to
the mountains, canoe. Medium
sized ones can be bought cheap, some
selling as low as So. Fishing tackle,
guns, shade umbrellas and hammocks
come all prices. In hammocks many
novelties are shown. Here is one
which can be carried easily in one side
Of a medium-sized hang-bag. 1t is
very compact and folds up like an
umbrella. In the past hammocks
caused complaint, owing to their bulk.
Give me $50, and with that sum /
would guarantee to have a glorious
months fun. "-Brooklya Eagle.

A Contrast.

An American, returning to New
York after residence abroad for some
years, writing to the EUeniag Post says:
In coming from England to New
York one finds a keener, paler face
among the men of this city, better
finished outline, too. Whether the
rounded cheek and well-turned jaws
is due to early gum chewing, or to an
cestral mastication of anything else,
it is hard to say, but the fact remains.
1t may, indeed, be due to premature
acquaintance with a good beefsteak.
The writer has always fancied that an
early diet of oatmeal spoilt the devel-
opment of the Scottish contour, just
as potatoes ruined the Irish jaw. 1t
is probable that the dryness of the
climate here is mainly responsible for
the paler complexion, assisted by the
absence of heady national beverages.
The American is much more adapt
able than the Englishman in any new
field. The Briton is man of one pro-
fession or trade, outside of which he
is absolutely helpless. He is still
further handicapped by a feeling of
doubtful pride which binders him
HUH dCCcpGiuS d IONc pOSlUiOh tHhd
that he had been accustomed to.
In coming to America and failing to
find what he wants, he is very apt 80
fall into the most desperate straits be-
fore he realizes the fact that all honest
labor is honorable in America, and
that society is not subdivided with the
same harshness as it is in Europe.
The American, in brief, as he APP
pears to the writer. is a very agreeable,
gentlemanly man of considerable equi-
poise of mind. He is not violent or
choleric, like the Briton, but his force
is apparently cumulative, since he is
capable of very bold and startling
action upon occasion. He does not
wear himself out by fretting; he does
not threaten to write to the news
papers or report the officials when he
is baff1ed by the insolence of Office
he shrugs his shoulders, and that is all.
He is long suffering, but he can at all
times strike very hard, and if he does
not mourn over his own woes. he GER
tainly does not distress himself about
the damage he does to others He is
incapable, apparently, of remorse, un-
less indeed it be the remorse of the
stomach, to which he is keenly sensi-
tive-for he is liberal feeder.

He Produced the Badger.

A lot of youngsters were collected
on Sunday afternoon around a badger
hole, in which there was a mighty OBJ
stinate old badger-one of those old
| tOughs that you could knock sparks
out of with hammer. ANYHOW, the
| young sports had put all their swell
imported terriers in to him-at least
he hadn't come out on top, because he
hadn't come out at ALL but when he
and the dogs got TO chewing one an
other under ground he appeared to
have away ahead the finest appetite.
A chap who was standing by, looking
on, said, kind of sadly: 81 guess, mis-
| tiers, that my old dog'd fetch that
badger out for you-if you want him
out, that is" The stranger was one of
those plank-shaped citizens with shiny
hair like seaweed. His clothes might
have been entailed clothes, in which
the family had lived for centuries, and
the mongrel was a dog as nearly like
his master as dog could be. Well,
sir, the young bucks took look at
them both, and the more they looked
the more they laughed. The notion
that that cur could beat all their finely
bred, imported terriers just tickled
them to death, and first one and then
another, and finally the whole boiling
of them offered to bet 90, 80, 40 to /
against him-anv thing the owner
liked, in fact. But they couldn't bluff
the old man off; he stayed with them;
he seemed to have more money along,
too, than you'd expect to find in such
old clothes. And the more the boys
kept sousing it to him the more he
kept taking 'em, till finally they quit,
and the bets were all laid out on bio
stone.
Well, they stood around to see the
fun. 1t was pretty clear that some
one was going to feel awful sick be-
fore the deal was over. However, the
visitor didn't seem like he thought it
was going to be him. He picked the
mongrel up and stroked him tenderly,
and the old dog WINGED little mite,
too. as if he could see chapter or so
ahead of him. Put him in" said the
boys, 'put him in Right now, gen.
tlemen," said the stranger. and stoop-
ing down he pushed him gently into
the earth-stern first. Well, sir, you
should have heard those boys laugh
when they saw that. Laugh Well,
l Snoulu say Cney did laugh. For a
minute or two the old dog lay there
with his head out of doors-one eye
fxed reproachfully on his master, the
other cooked anxiously backward.
Then all of sudden there was a ter
rife yelp and a cloud of dust and he
shot out of the hole, with the badger
fastened on to him. And for the life
of you you couldn't have told which
looked the most foolish-the young
sports or the old badger. As for the
stranger, he raked in the bets, and
when he got a little way off he turned
around, as if he had forgotten some
thing, and, says he, mournfully

How the Sioux Indian Dies.

In 1881 l was hunting some lost
horses in the broken country west of
the Big Horn River. / had ridden all
morning over a country that was
strange to me. About IL O'Clock /
crossed a plateau and was surprised to
| come suddenly to the edge of canon,
| the existence of which | had not even
suspected. In the canon was stream
with clumps of cottonwood timber
along its banks, and in one of the
open spaces was an Indian lodge. The
indians that hunted in that country
were peaceable, but the war was just
over and the Sioux were feeling rather
sore. If they were Grows or Arapa-
hoes | might get some information
about my horses. / lay down and
watched. No smoke came from the
tepee; no one moved around it; half a
dozen ponies grazed few hundred
yards distant. There was not even
dog. which looked rather suspicious.
After waiting five minutes | knew
no more than at first Suddenly three
Whitehall deer came from the timber
and walked leisurelv across the open
ing. Then | knew that che camp was
deserted, and the straugeness of it
startled me. I mounted and rode
down to the creek, and straight to the
tepee. | threw back the flap, and
shall remember what | saw until
death. In the centre of the tepee was
spread a buffalo robe, and on the robe
we're guns and scalps and many ar
rows; and there was also food done up
as for journey; and sitting cross
legged in circle around the robe
were six braves of the Sioux Nation.
All were in their prime-all decked
out in war-paint, and each one held
bow and arrow in his hand On every
face was an expression of calm in
difference, as of one who neither
suffers nor enjoys, neither hopes nor
fears. The faces were those of dead
men, and the smallpox had marked
them with its awful mark. They
took their misery with their heads
up, and even the horrors of this dis
ease could leave upon their hearts no
stain of fear, upon their brows no
mark of suffering. And this that their
God might Judge them men, and fit
them to pitch their camps forever in
the groves and green fields of Para

Rural Life i'm Russia.

My progress southwark was man,
fest In the heightened darkness of the
nights and in the increasing amount
of travel on the roads, and although
still 800 miles east of st. Petersburg,
| was within seventy-five miles of it's
latitude. AS travel increased my in
terruptions and detentions were more
frequent; many times a day / met
bands of pilgrims making their long
journey to the monastery of Solo
yetskoi on an island in the western
part of the White sea. Some carried
copper tea-kettles and others the in
dispensable sheepskin for covering at
night; they all resembled animated
bundles of rags rather than human
beings. Once year, to the number of
10000, these ragged devotees trudge
their way on foot to this northern
Mecca.
Harvest fields were now more num-
erous and the crops farther advanced.
Bevies of red-gowned reapers by the
roadside, seeing my approach, would
throw down their sickles, run to the
fence, and, like perch of flaming
ibises, hang over the top rail and ply
me with unintelligible questions; but
| seldom slacken my speed to crafty
their superstitious curiosity.
A peculiar feature of every barn
yard in northern Russia is towering
series of long, horizontal poles six or
eight inches apart, and supported at
the ends by upright posts twenty feet
in height. Between these poles the
sheaves of grain are placed with both
ends projecting to give the best ex-
posture for drying, the season being
too short and the weather too uncer-
tain to allow sufficient exposure in
the field The plows are of the most
| ancient type, consisting of the root of
tie biroh-tree SO cut out as to leave a
projection for draught, and for stills
or handles rude sticks dashed to the
root by withes; sometimes fiat piece
| of iron is nailed to the mold-board
| side. The harrows are equally print
tive. Sections of small spruce trees
are split in halves and the fiat surfaces
| placed upward, then a series of these
| pieces are bound together under trans
| verse strips; the limbs answering for
teeth, are left from ten to fourteen
inches long
| Unique wooden crosses are erected
in every village and sometimes OF the
roadside; below tie ordinary horizon
tai piece of the cross is an oblique
bar. These vayside shrines are usual
ly protected by roof supported on
four posts. Places of refreshments are
advertised bya small board pinned on
| the end of the house; on the board a
/ picture of cup and saucer is painted
and those keeping horse for hire indi-
cate the same by picture of horse
on a similar board. Outing.

and a good man can dig fifteen yards
a day with ease when it is three feet
deep, and although the swamp may be
full of water, by a simple device the
workman can keep himself dry while
digging. A cubic foot of dry muck
will absorb its own bulk of water, and
when mixed with the manure makes
loose, fine mass, which can be
handled quite easily with shovels or
ive-tined forks.
As load of muck contains a large
amount of fertilizng matter, it does
not dilute the manure, as dry earth
does; hence the labor of using it is
well repaid. / have used 200 cubic
yards of it in one year for fifteen COWS,
and the cellar was never fully saturated
with the liquid manure. As the liquid
runs through the gutter floor. it falls on
heap of the muck and solid manure,
and when this is saturated it is at once
carried out and spread on the land
where it is wanted, or thrown back in
the cellar to make room for more of the
muck. Manure is never worth any
more than when it is fresh. Its avail
able condition may be improved,
especially when largely mixed with
muck, by fermentation in a cellar
until needed for use in the spring; but
for Summer crops it can not be used
to any better advantage than spread
ing it on the land and mixing it with
the soil by blowing and narrowing, or
by topdressing growing crops with it.

Type-Setting in Japan.

The office of the Nichi Nichi Shin
bun, japanese newspaper, is thus
described: The features of the Shtnbata
office was its type case-for there was
only one OF body type. And such a
type case! 1t is divided, for utility,
INTO two sections, sloping toward an
alley five feet wide. Each section is
4 feet wide by 80 feet long, by 60
feet. There's news case for you!
This is divided into small compart-
ments or boxes, into which the type is
laid in regular piles, several piles in a
box, with faces all toward the COM
positors, mostly boys, big and little.
Each holds a wooden ssstick," with
brass rule. The type are all of size;
the ''stick' is not set to the measure
of the column, which is twenty ems
plea, but to about half the measure, it
being the business of the other work
men to impose the lines in columns,
take proof, and make up forms. Now,
then, the tvpe-setting. Armed with
''sticks" and rule and copy the dozen
cOmpOsitOrs read the last in an earn
est, sing-song way, each rushing to
some box, far or near, for the needed
letter, then back ten or twelve feet to
the needed one; all are on the lively
move, rushing and skipping to and
fro, right and left, up and down,
chasse, balance to partners, swing the
corners, up and back, singing the
copy, catching. one letter here, an
other there. prancing and dodging,
humming and skipping-a promenade
cotillion, Virginia reel, racquet, and
all hands around upon the same floor
at the same time, and the same dam
GERS in each-a perfect maze of noise
and confusion, yet out of confusion
bringing printed orderi 1t was sight
to be seen. '.How many different
characters are there in this case any,
howP" was asked our guide. Then our
guide asked the printers, and no one
could answer better than say: "N obody
knows, sir. Nobody knows-many
thousand" Later on we repeated the
same question to more intelligent
person, who said: cat least 10000"
That will account for the remarkable
size of the case and the racing to and
fro of the compositors. just why
they intone their copy all the while
was not made so clear other than the
remark that it was the custom. Toxic
monopolizes the japanese newspaper
business. there being only one other
point-Kofu-in eastern Japan where
newspapers are printed. The masses
of the people are able to read in their
own way, but comparatively few can
grasp the full flow of Chinese charac-
tiers. In point of illiteracy the Stats
ties place this nation at only per
cent, or next to Bavaria, which is the
lowest on the list.-PaLL LfaIL Gazette.
